Untitled, undated article; original source unknown. Extracted from the
newspaper article collection started in 1879 by Mrs. Nannie Brown of
Madison, Missouri.



'(Unknown) Rosetta Noel, a granddaughter of the Revolution and the
oldest woman in Monroe county, died at the home of her daughter Mrs.
John Dunaway, in this place, Tuesday night, Sept. 5, 1905 at 11 o'clock.

Rosetta Enochs was born in Oldham county, Kentucky, Oct. 25, 1811. Had
she lived to see Oct. 25th she would have reached the 94th milestone.
Her mind was quite active until about a year ago, when it failed her to
a great extent, as did her sight and hearing. Her step had always been
quick and elastic up to that time and, she would have been taken for a
woman of, perhaps, 65 or 70 years of age. She was married to Moses Noel
in Sept., 1830, moving to this state in Oct. the following year,
locating near Madison on a farm. Sometime before the death of her
husband, who departed this life in 1883, they located in Madison since
which time she has been a constant resident of our little city.

Of five children born to her, only two remain, J.T. Noel and Mrs. John
Dunaway. Beside these, she leaves 11 grandchildren, 24
great-grandchildren (the oldest being 22 years old) and many relatives
and friends to mourn the departure of this ripened sheaf. To the
daughter, who so faithfully attended her during these declining years,
she had become as a helpless babe and will be missed by her as such.
She was a consistent member of the Christian church, having confessed
Christ under the preaching of Alfred Wilson in (unable to read next two
lines.) Christian Church this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock
conducted by Eld. J.B. Corwine, after which her remains will be laid to
rest beside her husband in the Madison cemetery."
